Wear Your Own Motivation

August 21, 2017 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

Why haven’t you done that thing you’ve been wanting to do?

If the answer is, “I’m just waiting to get motivated.”

Shut the —- up.

Motivation is crap.

Be your own motivation. Wear it all over yourself if you have to.

You are going to die. What other motivation do you need?

Figure out what you want to do, then plaster that ISH all over yourself.

See it every time you look in the mirror.

Stop telling yourself you want to be this, or be that.

Just be it.

Stop waiting.

Stop wanting.

Just go.

There’s a reason IMPOSSIBLE is the name of the site – it’s the thing I need to remind myself every day.

Be your own motivation. Wear it on your sleeve or chest or wherever the hell you want to wear it. Tattoo it on your body if you have to.

Be your own motivation. Don’t just talk about it.

Be it. Live it. Plaster it on your face if you have to.

Go.

    Motivation is really overrated. I think for most people, motivation is like a mood, which they feel for certain times, and they are compelled to act when they feel like it. This should not be the case. If we set a goal, no need for motivation. No excuses, Just. Do. It.
